Over one million set
to strike on July 10th
July 10
th
can now be a real show of strength by
unions representing over one million key staff all of
whom are suffering at the hands of this government.
The NUT has called the strike because substantive
issues of concern have still not been properly
addressed by the government in a series of talks.
Through these talks we have won some
concessions on the implementation of PP and the
government has promised a review of
!accountability and workload". The government has
also promised to look at the implications of teachers
working until the age of #$.
%owever& these concessions are still nowhere near
enough to improve teachers' working lives.
We have made gains from previous stries
Our action won an increase in the
Government's offer on pensions - worth much
more in every year of retirement than the
amount lost in strike pay.
Our action stopped the STRB worsening term
times and working hours and stopped them
removing some protections on conditions of
service
Our action forced the government to produce
the figures from their workload survey and to
recognise that workload is an issue that needs
to !e addressed
